Club Information

Since its start in 1979, Cascade Orienteering Club (COC) has helped individuals, families, and schools discover enjoyment of the outdoors through the sport of orienteering. Along the way, COC has created detailed maps of dozens of orienteering venues, working closely with land managers to understand and adapt to environmental requirements. We have nurtured a student orienteering league that routinely grows national champions, managed the Ultimate O and Winter O event series for adult competitors, and created popular signature events (such as the Bog Slog, Vampire O, and MoboGoGlobo) for recreational fun. All events are open to newcomers.
